The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 264 My Father is Too Cunning

Cui Daniu remained unmoved. "Just tell me if you want it or not?"

This time, he's determined to get rid of this hot potato.

Cui Hehua hesitated for a long time, her eyes filled with tears, "I will listen to my parents. No matter what, I can't let my actions affect my younger brother."

Cui Daniu was satisfied; at least she knew what was good for her. He helped her escape the Wang family's hellhole; what happened next was up to her.

Cui Hehua also thought that if she got a divorce and married a widower, she would break off her relationship with the old bachelor and live a good life. She couldn't let her new husband wear a green hat.

"In that case, you should go home and prepare. Tomorrow, your mother and I will go to the Wang family."

"Okay, thank you, Father! From now on, I will never be a burden to the family." Her words were eloquent. Her face beamed with barely concealed joy; this time, surely they could finally get a divorce?

Wang Defa's life is completely ruined. He committed such a serious crime; even if he doesn't die, he'll be skinned alive, and he might even go to jail. After he gets out, he won't be able to lift a finger or do anything heavy; what use will he be?

She should leave before they realize what's happening. If she leaves now, there won't be any gossip in the village; after all, he's the one who did wrong.

Both parties were satisfied with the deal. Cui Hehua straightened her clothes and didn't linger. Cui Daniu, on the other hand, was thinking about how many people he should bring to cause trouble tomorrow.

Apart from one old man, the rest of the Wang family are no longer a threat.

Fang Xiaoning got up very early because she was selecting a group of people to do the work today.

The villagers, whether they were interviewees or not, all got up early and gathered outside the workshop, eager to see how the Fang family's daughter would select people.

Having learned from their previous experience, this group of people had clean hands and neat clothes. They tried their best to make sure Fang Xiaoning couldn't find any fault with their appearance, so she would have no reason not to use them.

Upon arriving at the workshop, I saw about a hundred people standing in front of me, all lined up in rows, which looked quite impressive.

With just one glance, Fang Xiaoning knew that the method used last time to select people wouldn't work. Therefore, she observed even more carefully.

Qi, whose eyes darted around; Qi, whose hands were stained with gray dirt from vigorous rubbing; Qi, whose clothes were wrinkled; Qi, whose hair, though neat, was greasy.

This time, she didn't give any reasons why they were unqualified; they all followed the template. How was she supposed to choose?

"Alright, that's all for now. Sorry about the rest, try again next time."

I was very frustrated that I wasn't selected. More and more people wanted to work, and the selection process became more and more stringent. I regretted being scared by the contract the first time and not daring to apply.

With the personnel selected, Fang Xiaoning took the ledger and went back to check the accounts.

At the same time, things were not peaceful at Old Master Fang's house either.

The old man went to his house early in the morning to ask for his help with this year's autumn harvest.

The reason is simple: he wants the whole village to know that the eldest son and the old house have a good relationship, which indirectly means that Fang Xiaoning is close to them!

In this way, after the fourth brother returned, these people dared not gossip, and the fourth brother was able to have an easier time.

"Dad, what did you say? You want me to help harvest the crops!" Fang Youcai jumped up. What a joke! He never even wanted to do his own farm work before. What did his father think he'd be willing to do? He wasn't stupid; why would he want to do manual labor for someone else?

"Dad, find someone else. I can't do it. I'm too busy at home."

Seeing that his eldest son refused outright, the old man was somewhat displeased. Did he think he couldn't persuade any of them? "Your land was taken over by someone else. Our family is in such a big mess, and the fourth son isn't here. His wife is pregnant. As the eldest brother, can't you help out for a few days?"

"Don't talk about these trivial things. Dad, the fourth son and his wife are at home, but they don't do any work. It's good that he's not home. The autumn harvest is busy enough, and with one less patriarch to serve, everyone can have some peace and quiet."

Grandpa Fang was speechless after being rebuked, and stammered for a long time, "You can do less, just help out, not much, just two or three days, okay?"

All they need to do is make people wary of their family.

If he's not going to work, what's the point of asking him to do anything? His dad isn't the type to cause trouble for no reason; everything he does has a purpose. He'd never believe there wasn't a ulterior motive this time.

Fang Youcai narrowed his eyes, looking at the old man, unable to figure out what he was up to for a long time.

No matter what he's trying to do, he won't suffer if he doesn't engage.

"Dad, I really don't have time. You know I make and sell pastries, and my wife can't manage it all by herself."

"Just two days, is two days alright?" Old Master Fang's tone was almost pleading.

It's not that Fang Youcai is heartless; it's just that his father is far too cunning. The kind of person who would kill him without hesitation.

"It's really no good, Dad, I just can't get away. My second and third sons are here, they're capable enough, and in all these years, they've never needed you to worry about them!"

Just do what you always do, okay? Don't worry, it'll be fine.
